This one is a Manitowoc 440 ton crawler with lattice boom. I estimate the boom to be about 300 feet.
The Manitowoc model number is 14-440T-03, 16000. A number of cranes of this type are advertised on line for sale or rent, the nearest in Mississauga, ON another in Syracuse, NY. I imagine R&D Cranes brought this one in especially for this project.
There are "smaller" cranes on the job too, including a Grove 9000-02, used to assemble the crawler and a Grove GMK 5240 (no clear view of this one for a photo.)
The mast of the Potain tower crane is still resting against the adjacent building, but since this photo was taken it has been lashed to the structure of that building. That building was under construction, but work has now been suspended.
The red arrow shows where the mast clipped another adjacent (occupied) building on the way down.

That Red Manitawoc (Its a model 16000) is actually owned by R&D. I think they bought it particularly for the MacDonald bridge re-decking as they were the ones who build the new decks. Ive seen it around on a couple wind projects, they used it 2 years ago in clayton park to build a church, and most recently to do the new hwy103/102 overpass. I think Leil and Irving have one each as well.
